Polls: Huckabee surging in FL

Giuliani_2008_nhea105 Two more polls show Mike Huckabee giving Rudy Giuliani a run for his money in Huckabee_2008_cadd105 Florida. Maybe that explains why Rudy's campaign has cut back his TV expenses in New Hampshire, to give it more flexibility and resources for must-win Florida.

Strategic Vision's 12/14-16 poll : Rudy Giuliani 25%;  Mike Huckabee 21%; John McCain 15%; Mitt Romney 13%; Fred Thompson 10% Ron Paul 4%; Tom Tancredo 2%; Duncan Hunter 1%; and 9% undecided. “Republicans could potentially have four to five viable candidates when the race comes to Florida.  Such a scenario would benefit Guilaini as it would divide the conservative vote.  Most interesting is the McCain revival particularly in the I-4 corridor,” said  a statement from Strategic Vision CEO David "Not DJ, the former RPOF executive director" Johnson.

Then there's the new SurveyUSA automated poll: Giuliani 29%; Huckabee 24%; Romney 20%; McCain 10%; Thompson 8%; other 6%, undecided 3%.

In other Huckaboom news, Florida supporters are planning a rally Monday morning at the Orlando executive airport. The campaign tells us, though, that Huckabee won't be there and may not return for a few weeks.

"I know Florida is a top priority for the governor but I've been told it is not likely before end of year,'' said Kirsten Fedewa, a spokeswoman.

Silly. All those figures show is that Huckabust has replaces Romneyflop in second place. And most of that is probably just a boost from his doing so well in Iowa.

Here's a guy who is running on his Christian morals, who, when asked WWJD if a death warrant came across his desk, ducked the question with a smart aleck "Jesus was too smart to run for public office" and got a laugh from the crowd while his backbone was melting. Haven't read the "Let he who is without sin . . ." story, huh? I guess you are stupid enough to run for office.

The rooster is crowing Hucksterbee, can you hear it?

The Huckster ROCKS!

RON PAUL!

"...Florida supporters are planning a rally Monday morning at the Orlando executive airport...though Huckabee won't be there..."

They are having a party for a person who isn't there? Man, why not throw it at the IHOP and at least folks can grab some breakfast.

Hey everyone, Rally for Rudy at the Moon Tower!

5:22pm-

Perhaps the Huckamaniacs will swipe some food from the lounge at the airport. It sounds pretty stupid to organize a rally without the candidate, but whatever excites them. They are charging $8.00 for yard signs. I guess that's what happens when your candidate is unable to raise money. It will be interesting to see the Huckster's cash on hand totals. Hopefully for his sake it's higher the 650K on September 30th FEC report. Heck even Ron Paul will probably raise more than the Huckster.

Ron Paul will run as a third party candidate and throw the election into the House of Representatives when no majority is achieved in either the popular vote or the electoral college. Our elected representatives in the House will then conduct themselves with all the decorum of brawling hockey players, precipitating a Constitutional crisis.

Ron Paul at 4%.....

Those Ron Paul supporters surely have lost touch with reality.

Libertarian candidate for President in 1988. These are Ron Paul's real political convictions.

Ron Paul will get his 5% in various primaries and will be back to his full time congressional duties by Spring. Then the Ron Paul Goon Squad can crawl back under the rocks they came from.

Ann Coulter:

Huckabee Like GOP Jimmy Carter

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter says GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is the “Republican Jimmy Carter” and nominating him would be a big mistake for the party.

Appearing with John Gibson and Heather Nauert on Fox News’ “The Big Story,” Coulter was asked about Huckabee’s recent surge in the polls.

“I’m getting tired of this being blamed on the evangelicals,” said Coulter.

Huckabee’s rise is actually “bad for the evangelicals,” she asserted. “Mike Huckabee is the Republican Jimmy Carter.”


laugh & scoff all you want nothing will stop the Ron Paul Revolution.

Huckabees fund raising has been surging recently too.

He is nearing $5.3 million just this quarter

A Huckabee win in the primary (or Obama) is about the only thing that would make me vote democrat this time. Please keep the ignorant goober out of office. This guy has so much dirt on him he makes Clinton & Bush look like altar boys.

Anyone is better than socialist Hillary.

The only candidate in this field with any integrity, discussing issues of importance, is Ron Paul.
